Lollipops and Cigarettes (On Hiatus)

Chp. 3

I had to ask my friend for a bit of help in this chapter, which is very appreciated! Anyways after several months I'm finally picking this story back up! So I hope you enjoy the chapter!

Oliva:

I sighed softly as I looked at my phone, three o'clock it read. I had about another hour until my shift ends, which I'm ready for quite frankly. The sound of the door opening made my head perk up, but led to another disappointed sigh. It wasn't her.

It has been a few days since I met the adorable girl who has been occupying my mind. Ever since then I've been hoping that maybe, just maybe, she'll show back up. It was quite foolish to be honest, hoping to see someone you barely even know.

Despite how foolish it was, I couldn't help but to think about her. I let out another sigh and straightened up my ponytail. 'Might as well take more orders' I thought to myself before walking off to the newly occupied table in my section. 

While I was taking their orders, the door opened again and someone else came in. I quickly wrote down the  orders and walked to where the barista was there making coffees.

"Here you go Chase, have fun making these four coffees. These people were very particular in what they ordered." I told him, which earned me a dramatic sigh as he took the paper containing the orders.

I turned my attention to the newly occuipied table in my secrio, my eyes widening as I did so. 'Well...what do you know.'

I walked over to the table with a bug smile on my face. "Hello cutie, didn't think I'd see you here so soon." I said as I approached her.

"Oh um hello." She greeted me softly. I smiled, remembering how when I met her she was just as soft spoken even in her headspace at the time.

I asked her what she would like, and then said I would be right back. Walking over to where Chase was, I handed him Mia's order. "Who's the cutie?" He asked.

"Her name is Mia, and hands off." I said while giving him a glare. He held his hands up innocently, showing surrender.

He quickly made her drink for me and handed it too my. I thanked him quickly and made my way back over to were Mia was sitting. She had her hand tucked under chin and she was staring out the window. I let out a laugh, bringing her attention back to now instead of the world outside the window.

"O-Oh, I'm sorry I was spacing out." She apologized, a slight color of pink dusting over her cheeks. I smiled at her, setting her drink down on the table. "No need to apologize." I told her.

"Oh, well um...thank you for my drink!" She said. I nodded my head and bit my lip. "Do you mind if I sit with you for a few?" I asked her, hoping she would comply.

"Of course, but don't you have other people to tend to? Or something along those lines, because if so I would want you to get in trouble for s-"

I interrupted her rambling. "It will be okay, I'm not particularly busy at re moment. Also, it would be rather stupid of me to not talk to a pretty girl in front of me."

The pink color from earlier rose up on her cheeks again, making me smile. I sat down in front of her. "So cutie, tell me more about you."

Mia:

Olivia and I talked for awhile, until she had to go take more peoples orders. After she left, I couldn't help but to giggle. I felt butterflies in my stomach each time she had smiled at me, calling me these cute nicknames.

It was really odd, getting called certain names by someone you only have talked to twice. For some odd reason though, I didn't seem to mind.

Not one bit.

Smiling to myself, I looked out the window again. The streets were full of various vehicles, passing by slowly. People walked passed the windows, some talking and smiling at each other. I sighed softly and turned my attention back into the café.

Olivia was rushing around, taking everyone's orders and returning to the area where some guy was taking the slips of paper. They both seemed to get along well, which made me think that they were really good friends.

I smiled and found myself hoping that one day we could become good friends like that some day. Not noticing how close my elbow was to my drink I shifted myself slightly, knocking my drink onto my lap.

Many heads turned towards me as I let out a yelp. I felt tears start forming in my eyes out of embarrassment.

Olivia came over after hearing me yelp, bending down slightly so she was more eye level with me. "I-I'm sorry!" I choked out, tears falling more quickly.

She gently cupped my cheeks, shushing me softly. "It's okay honey, no need to be sorry. It was just an accident." 

She helped me stand up, and guided me to the bathroom. I tried my hardest not to pay attention to the looks people shot at us, and just focused on calming down.

Once we were in the bathroom, Olivia grabbed some paper towels and ran them under water. She walked over to me and gently tried to clean off the wet patch on my shirt. "I-I'm really sorry I made a mess." I apologized, making her look at me.

"It was an accident, no need for an apology. Did you get any of your drink on your bag?" She asked me, making my eyes widen in fear. "I-I don't know. I left my bag back at the table I didn't grab it."

She gave me a gentle smile. "Wait here okay? I'll go get it for you and we can look." She said before quickly rushing out of the bathroom. I stood there waiting, hoping that nothing in my bag got wet.

It was already bad enough I got wet, I didn't need anything else getting that way. The door opened revealing a slightly concerned Olivia.

"I got your bag, it looks like it got some of your drink on it. I have no idea about the inside of it though."

She handed me the bag, watching carefully as I opened it. My eyes widened, and I felt tears forming in my eyes. In my bag was Kimi, who was now stained slightly brown with my coffee.

"O-Oh no."
